Upgrading Firmware through Zmodem
Generally, TFTP is the first choice to use to upgrade firmware. The Telnet Console and the Web
Console both have options for upgrading the firmware using a TFTP server (see chapters 4 and 5).
However, you can also use Zmodem to upgrade the firmware from the serial port.
Note:
If FLASH becomes corrupted because you lose power when upgrading the firmware, you must use
Zmodem to fix the problem.
To upgrade the firmware using Zmodem
1. Obtain the runtime firmware.
2. Using Windows HyperTerminal*, log in to the switch through the serial port.
3. From the Main Menu, select Reboot and press Enter.
